Bleacher Report NBA Mock draft has Harrison Ingram trusting the process

If you’re defending against the UNC men’s basketball team – good luck.

The Tar Heels don’t have just one offensive star, but three – RJ Davis, Armando Bacot and Harrison Ingram. Davis and Bacot have been program mainstays who’ll almost certainly have their names in the Dean Dome rafters, while Ingram’s arguably been UNC’s best transfer portal pickup since Brady Manek.

Ingram is so important because not only is he a double-double machine (12 already this year), but he’s also extremely versatile. North Carolina’s mainly utilized him at power forward, but he could also play small forward, either guard position or center in an emergency.

Ingram’s strong play has earned him some NBA Draft consideration, with Bleacher Report projecting the Philadelphia 76ers to take him 37th overall (second round).

“Harrison Ingram may have moved the needle with 21 points, five threes, 13 boards and four steals against Duke,” Bleacher Report’s Jonathan Wasserman said. “He’s made real strides with his shooting this year, a key development that can help scouts look past his athletic limitations inside the arc. Impressive shot-making and defensive sequences have helped him change the narrative this season. And there may still be some untapped playmaking/passing ability that we saw more of at Stanford, where he was used frequently as a pick-and-roll ball-handler.”
